Open Enrollment is an event that happens every year from November 1 through January 15 during which Maine residents can get or change private health and dental insurance plans that meet Affordable Care Act standards. The plans offered on CoverME.gov are high quality with comprehensive health coverage that covers doctor's visits, prescriptions, emergency care and more. They are only offered through legitimate companies licensed in Maine. The plans change every year so it's important to update your application and check to see what plans are available for the new year. Deadlines to enroll are:
- December 15 for coverage that starts January 1
- January 15 for coverage that starts February 1
Outside of Open Enrollment, you may be able to get or change health coverage if you have a recent life event such as losing other health coverage or getting married by using a Special Enrollment Period or if your estimated income qualifies you for a Special Enrollment Period or MaineCare.
